Honda CB1000R
Fast Bikes
|July 2019
THIS MONTH I HAVE MOSTLY BEEN… Waving off one CB and turning my attention to another one.
-
So the CB1000R Neo Café Racer has been returned to Honda. A10-month stay with Fast Bikes saw this new incarnation of the CB pass through two keepers, but ridden by us all with a genuine appreciation for the capabilities of this bike, despite having to do a lot of head scratching on where to place it.
It’s had quite a journey; well, a few actually. Martin was the first keeper, racking up as many miles as he could, as quickly as he could to get it through the 600-mile first service and way beyond completing 3,500 of the total 5,200 completed in 10 months. With a late arrival of the Honda, Martin timed his departure from FB towers beautifully with the end of the summer, thus I got the rough end of the stick with the weather, but that did not stifle my enjoyment of ownership.

ROUNDING OFF
At this point, I'm supposed to pick a bike from the group as my winner, but when it comes to it, the truth genuinely is that it's impossible. How can you pick one 200bhp bike over another 200bhp bike as better, when they are all capable of making your jaw drop and encourage expletives at their sheer violence?
